L.,
You have gotten some great advice. You are not alone in this. The thing I wanted to add is that it seems lots of women give the impression that everything is wonderful and their lives are perfect...no one wants to complain or look like they can't do it all; but everyone has struggles.
When a baby is born, "everyone" says the baby is doing great, mom is doing great, and all is well...we just don't seem to really talk about the hard times...recovering from childbirth takes time (and you still have to do everything for the new baby), losing the weight can take time, feeling isolated at home alone with a baby can wear on you, and of course you still have to deal with housework AND your hubby wants his special attention, too. It really doesn't leave much for us moms.
Try to get out of the house, even if it's just to walk around the block with the baby. Those walls feel like they can close in on you if you're inside too long. It does get easier with time. Enjoy your baby!
